Hezbollah and Syria's rebels fight on opposite sides in Syria, but have rarely clashed on Lebanese territory.
The official said that members of Hezbollah appear to have ambushed and encircled a group of Syrian rebels along with some Lebanese fighters whom they suspected of rocketing Lebanon's Baalbek region a day earlier.
He said there were unconfirmed reports that a Hezbollah fighter and a number of Syrian rebels were killed.
The clashes took place in a remote area near Syria.
